well-known businessman, Frederick W. Yearwood, and Brunswick Co. Ltd., a company in which he is a shareholder, was put on hold Friday.

An ex parte application from Mr. Yearwood's lawyers for leave to appeal a Supreme Court ruling from Puise Judge Norma Wade-Miller has been adjourned until an inter partes hearing can be scheduled.

Mr. Yearwood was represented by Andrew Martin of law firm Mello, Hollis, Jones & Martin in court on Friday. The court asked to have both sides represented when next they convene to consider the matter, possibly as early as November, in the next session of the court. Mrs. Justice Wade-Miller's Supreme Court judgment this spring was to lead to a trial between Mr. Yearwood and the company over $1,623,115.32 that Mr. Yearwood claimed from the defendant company. But the judgment was appealed.

The sum was said to be the balance of money he lent the firm, at the firm's request, together with interest at an agreed rate of six percent per annum.

But Brunswick had set up what Mrs. Justice Wade-Miller termed "a bona fide counter-claim arising broadly out of the same subject-matter of the action and connected with the grounds of the defence.'' Brunswick Ltd. is represented by Patricia Harvey of Harvey & Associates.
